My work and interest are global research funding, policy and international Higher Education. I acquired an in-depth high level experience in developing policy advice on the basis of informed research output. Extensive record in the design and implementation of highly innovative projects, including the establishment of new double degree courses with partner institutions in the US, China and Europe. Record of establishing multilateral institutional collaborations and university representative offices abroad. Senior level experience in strategic planning and ‘foresight’ planning in elite higher education institutions, international research funders and associations. On 29 November 2018 I have been awarded the Annual Prize of the Young Academy of Europe

    Responding to a request from the European Commission formulated by Karmenu Vella - Commissioner for Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors investigated how more food and biomass can be obtained from the oceans in a way that does not deprive future generations of their benefits.
